Had a great time in Nairobi and Masai Mara
I visited Nairobi for business for a few days. I asked Kenya Walking to show me the city and also to organize a 3-day safari in the Masai Mara. I enjoyed both!
O.T. was very helpful and very assuring when I asked about things I should know about for instance safety in Nairobi or about traffic problems. He arranged a great hotel for me to stay for 4 days. The accommodations in Masai Mara were great as well (I must say that I did especially ask for at least mid-range accommodations).
I had already seen the Northern part of Tanzania before, so I guessed it would be hard for Masai Mara to live up to those expections. Well it did!
Although Tanzania's Northern Circuit offers more variation in scenic beauty, Masai Mara was similar in terms of wildlife (for me the most important aspect). We had amazing sightings - lions (eating), cheetahs, a leopard closeby in a tree, a lot of elephants, hyena, topi, impala, giraffe and many more. I have some beautiful photos of all of them and also some stunning photos of the landscapes. The guide (Samy) was very helpful with good information about animals, respecting our wish to enjoy the silence every now and then and he was generally very fun to be with.
The weather was also great, not too hot, not too cold and occasional afternoon rains (only for a short time). I had a Kenyan data sim-card which allowed me to have (limited) internet access during the trip. Some of the accommodations had WiFi. All in all a perfect experience.

An absolutely unforgettable and amazing experience! Would definitely book again!
There is no way to adequately express my joy following our experience with Kenya Walking! Everyone we worked with - the drivers (Benson and Abbasi), the cook (Jacob), our hosts at the various camps (especially Christopher), and the people responsible for setting up the safari itself (OT and a Michael) were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! I feel like we have made new life time friends! Not only did we see so many amazing animals and landscapes, but we laughed and learned more than I ever expected. We are already planning a return trip and I would absolutely book with Kenya Walking again.
I have already started recommending them to my friends!

Incredible experience in Kenya
My parents and me had a 7 days tour with Kenya walking as our family trip with a reasonable package price, it' s come with very good value and hence they are highly recommended. Thanks so much for Mr. Otieno's quick reply for our questions as it is our first time in Kenya, so I want to know more about our stay. Even we only can afford the budget hotel, all the accommodation is clear, comfortable and quiet. When our trip start, our drivers- Sammi is a funny guys and he make a laugh with us all the time. And our cook - Jacob who make a wonderful food for us and I already miss his food so much. The tour is more than I expect, we are not only come to see the amazing animals and landscapes. Sammi & Jacob also show us the local culture, food and knowledge, it's more meaningful to us. Look forward to meet you guys next time!
That's why I recommend Kenya Walking Survivor Safaris to you!!

Beautiful experience, company went above and beyond!
The trip was incredible. Our guides went above and beyond in every way. They clearly were very experienced in all aspects of the trip. Trips between parks sometimes were long, but the driver was incredible at making everyone feel comfortable. He also spent a lot of time with us in the park to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. And the food went beyond all expectations, it was gourmet cooking every night, and was absolutely delightful. Lodging was incredible as well. Thank you for providing such great guides and amazing itinerary/lodging.

i would hope to think that david and sam get paid better then i think.... they were lovely
the service was superb.....the safari was fantastic..... my daughter and i were the only ones on the safari so we got treated like queens.... if you use this company ask for sam and david.... they rock.... we left them a very large tip each because i dont think that they make the money that they should....
Perfect safari experience and reseanable price
We have taken a three-day safari tour with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris visiting Amboseli and Tsavo West. It was an amazing experience for us. As the migration hasn't started yet, there are not many tourists during this period but we were lucky spot lions and leopards during the trip. The camp and lodge are above our expectations, esp the camps which are so nicely built and clean. We love all the food provided during the trip too. Our driver is very nice and kind, without whose help we would not be able to see so many animals. I will definitely recommend going with Kenya Walking Survivors

Exciting and thrilling Safari with the team from Kenya Walking Survivors Safari
It was an Exciting and Thrilling experience, which we shall cherish for a long time. Right from arranging our stay, food and SIM for communication it was all flawless. Even Rare animals like the Sowa cat and the Black Rhino were both sighted and, even the most sought after animals like Lions, Elephants, Rhinos walked past our vehicle so closely that, we felt we could touch them. Most of the animals we observed, were from such a close distance, we could almost smell them. Food was made as personal as possible by a special cook assigned for the entire safari. I would recommend Kenya Walking Safaris to all my friends and assure them that your trip will be cost effective and well arranged.

Wonderful Safari Experience
We went for a six day safari with Anthony and Sam and overall the experience has exceeded my expectations. Anthony is very experience and easygoing. He showed us lions and leopards for several times, all very closely. This is something I have never experience in my previous Safaris. Sam is a superb cook. He can cook an amazingly delicious meal using very simple ingredient. He would also wake up very early to prepare food for us. I would strongly recommend Kenya Walking Survivor to any people who is interested in having some unforgettable memory in Kenya.
